Our first article for 2025 just came out in @daltontrans.bsky.social
We demonstrate that pairing iridium or osmium hydrides with hafnium can boost C-H activation performances for catalytic H/D exchange in heteroarenes!

Catalytic H/D Exchange of (Hetero)arenes with Early-Late Polyhydride Heterobimetallic Complexes: Impact of Transition Metal Pairs

Metal-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) has become a valuable method for incorporating deuterium and tritium into organic molecules, with applications in a wide range of scientific fields. Thi...

Have you seen this latest study from @clementcamp.bsky.social and co-workers?

"Synergistic C–H bond activation across molybdenum–iridium multiply bonded complexes: a cascade of transformations"

Synergistic C–H bond activation across molybdenum–iridium multiply bonded complexes: a cascade of transformations

Heterobimetallic compounds offer unique opportunities for activating substrates through cooperative interactions between two distinct metal centers, potentially leading to catalytic reactivity beyond the reach of monometallic systems. The pairing of molybdenum with iridium has recently shown remarkable performance

have you heard about the fish that forgot its migration?

herring used to feed in northern Norway and migrate south (>1000km) to spawn

a few years ago they abruptly stopped doing that

authors think older adults were overfished & didn't "teach" younger fish to migrate!

Herring spawned poleward following fishery-induced collective memory loss - Nature

A critically low abundance of older herring due to age-selective fisheries resulted in an approximately 800-km poleward shift in main spawning.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

We're not clear on what a bond is, at all
